Bug#429716: Package tetex-bin postinst fails in lenny with no prevoius tetex packages installed
Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-30
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Trying to install tetex-bin on a lenny machine causes the following
error:
Setting up tetex-bin (3.0-30) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-bin.postinst: line 948:
/usr/share/tex-common/tetex-bin-upgrade: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing tetex-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tetex-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
Setting up tetex-bin (3.0-30) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/tetex-bin.postinst: line 948:
/usr/share/tex-common/tetex-bin-upgrade: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing tetex-bin (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
tetex-bin
The missing file does not in fact exist.
Moreover, the machine on which I was installing tetex-bin didn't have
any prevoius version installed, so I wonder why the postinst executes an
"upgrade" script.

Tommaso Colombo
